An eclectic and sometimes polarization term science, social issues, a broad umbrella cells, which include its avoidance of arguments with regard to many areas together. Generally fall into the category of social science sociology degree in these subjects is still debated, despite the rage in political science, anthropology, psychology and economics accepts that every human face is a science. Subjects such as history and linguistics, the social life are addressed, are less common social sciences. In general, social science, the application of scientific method, are considered for all social. However, it is noteworthy that the greater or lesser extent the social sciences, humanities as well as a scientific theory of mind should appear.

In the long run there is still a debate on the use of social science, the word science to the general criticism addressed. Traditionally, natural science, or "hard" science, the scientific method used allows the results of future testable hypotheses and the ability to falsify the hypothesis to predict, including the production marked the natural world, the scientific method is applied. predictability a high degree of ability to understand science and the universal law, empirical reality, because of government to recognize the social world, is used to predict the same values ​​of human behavior Search more signs of the same universal laws .. proved the success of social sciences due to the soft sciences "in the application of scientific method, often referred to as the limit."

No specific date for the birth of social science to Genesis, in fact factors, which for centuries many sources and some of its fundamental ideas explored a number of things, being something like Plato. It is generally accepted that contemporary social science with the wisdom and logic and the empirical world because of its emphasis on the development of methodology is an important beginning.

Closely to the principles of positivism Hewing, social scientists tried, the laws of the social sector, in fact, laws that allow search predictability of human interaction. The years have shown difficulty in science at the level of predictability and precision, to see how the social sector
